Forex Market Makers

In forex trading most deals are conducted over-the-counter (OTC). A forex broker acting like market maker quotes both a bid and a ask price in a currency pair. The broker sells to its clients when they want to buy and buys from its clients when they want to sell. It makes money through the  bid-ask spread.
